How do you explain Felton's subpar play in POR?
How do you explain Turkoglu's performance when he was in TOR?
How do explain Brands performance in PHI from LAC?

All these guys went to a different system and never looked comfortable. I respect you as a poster but sometimes you like to act all dumb like you don't understand something just to further your point. That "either you play good or you don't" comment is so weak. Act like you have some basketball sense man.

System's do affect players, but your examples are Raymond Felton, Turkoglu, and Elton Brand. None of those guys are considered stars at this point. Do you think Lebron would be losing and playing terribly on any team?

Melo is a max guy and so he's expected to play great and lead the team to wins. The most disturbing part of his play is that he doesn't seem to play hard on both ends of the floor. If he played D like he did against Lebron we would be in a lot more games. Stars like Kobe and Lebron even when not scoring consistently make big plays and that's what Melo isn't doing.

LOL, look at their career scoring numbers, since the 2008-2009 season Carmelo's outscored by LeBron especially if we're looking at their FG%.

As a purely offensive player Carmelo is better than Lebron, or was, prior to this season. Melo could post, midrange, shoot the 3, before Lebron started becoming really consistent with those parts of his game.

A superstar is a top 10 player. Top 15 atleast. Melo, Amare and Chandler don't rank up that high unfortunately.

Ok this is a definition difference. I know there are only so many true "superstars" in the league, so I guess I am talking about "all-stars." In other words, guys that can make all-conference in any given season. For example, Tyson Chandler is not a superstar, but is can be all-conference defense in any given season.
